as you've been already told, partial specialization of function templates are not allowed. You can use std::enable_if for this:

template ::value>* = 0>
void func(T val) { std::cout << val << std::endl; }

template ::value>* = 0>
void func(T val) { func(*val); }

If you are looking for simpler syntax, wait for concepts
